Starrett 54967 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x1x0.375 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54967 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar made to AISI Type C1018 material specification. It measures 24 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.375 inches thick, and weighs 2.56 pounds. C1018 is a general-purpose low carbon steel known for its consistent machinability, weldability, and mild strength, making it a go-to raw material for fabrication shops, maintenance trades, and machine shops. Tolerances are tightly controlled: length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and both thickness and squareness tolerance are plus or minus 0.001 inches. This level of dimensional consistency makes it suitable for close-tolerance fitment and light structural applications.

This flat stock is used across a wide range of trade and fabrication applications including brackets, spacers, machine bases, support rails, and repair stock. It is commonly worked by machinists, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and metal fabricators in both industrial and commercial settings. The material cuts, drills, taps, and welds cleanly with standard tooling. Sold as individual pieces with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or metal fabricators using appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting. When welding C1018 steel, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low carbon steel filler material selection. Always secure the workpiece properly before machining or cutting operations.
